Mad Money Recap
Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: The Bernanke Bounce (Final)
Transparency In Demand
Cramer welcomed Noah Gottdiener, chairman and CEO of Duff & Phelps (DUF), to the show. Cramer last recommended Duff & Phelps on Nov. 9, when he explained that in an environment of low credibility, the company's third-party asset valuation services are in high demand. Gottdiener said that investors have been through a rough time in recent years, and are now demanding transparency. He said whether it's valuing companies or assets, it's always best to have an independent third-party auditor. That's why the top companies, hedge funds and mutual funds use their services, he said. Gottdiener said Duff & Phelps has also worked for the government, helping to audit the TARP securities so that the government gets a good value for the assets it is buying. He said that in bankruptcy proceedings, Duff & Phelps may be brought in by banks, creditors, the government or by any other interested constituent to help get the job done. Cramer said that Duff & Phelps is in a great position, is too cheap and needs to be bought.Lightning Round
Cramer was bullish on CPFL Energia (CPL) and Aracruz Celulose (ARA). He was bearish on Knight Trading Group (NITE), Potash (POT), Companhia Paranaense de Energia (ELP), China Fire & Security Group (CFSG) and International Paper (IP). -- Written by Scott Rutt in Washington To watch replays of Cramer's video segments, visit the Mad Money page on CNBC.|
